AS more light is turned on the
operations of 1.-THE Fidelity Bank the
resemblance between the course of
Mr.. L. L. Harper and that of anoth-
er distinguished American finan-
cier. Ferdinand Ward, is brought
into striking relief. They were
about the same age, each came up
from the country, obscure, without
experience, poor; each advanced
rapidly and sensationally TO the
head of immensei financial con-
cerns each LAUGHED recklessly In
to gigantic speculations; each re-
sorted to similar crooked financial
expedients; each sacrificed hii

If the proposed new American movement
shall result in combining and crystallizing
public opinion in favor of regulating foreign
immigration to reduce the dangers to a
minimum, it will have accomplished very
desirable result. The time has long since
passed when we need the assistance of foreign
immigration to subdue the continent or de-
velop the country. We have got from it
about all the good we ever can, and for some
time past have been getting more harm than
good. 1t is a difficult matter to regulate,

A SINGULAR thing happened in Davis coun.
ty, Kentucky, in the recent election. The
opposing candidates for circuit judge, Demo
crat and Republican, were gentlemen who
had served in the confederate and U Mon ar
mics respectively and they were nominated
on their war records. The young men who
had not been in the war decided to put up
candidate, and nominated young lawyer on
his no-war record. He was elected by hand
some plurality over both the other candidates.
The result would seem to indicate that good
many voters had come in since war times.
